I’m looking to enhance the look and performance of my BMW M2, and I’ve been considering different rear spoiler options. There’s a lot of information out there, and I’m hoping to get some insight from those who have experience with this.

Types of Rear Spoilers

From what I’ve gathered, the market offers several types of rear spoilers for the M2. Here are some categories I’m considering:

  • OEM Spoilers: These are factory options that promise perfect fit and finish. Has anyone had any experience with these?
  • Aftermarket Spoilers: I’ve seen a variety of aftermarket options that claim to enhance aerodynamics and style. Are there specific brands that are better than others?
  • Carbon Fiber Choices: I’ve heard a lot about carbon fiber spoilers. Are they worth the investment in terms of weight reduction and aesthetics?

Performance vs. Aesthetics

I’m also curious about the balance between performance benefits and aesthetics. Does adding a rear spoiler significantly improve handling or stability at high speeds? Or is it mainly for looks?

Installation Guides

Alongside recommendations, I’d love to hear how complicated the installation process is. Whether it’s a DIY project or best left to professionals greatly affects my decision.

Pricing Information

Lastly, could anyone provide a ballpark on pricing? What should I expect to pay for OEM vs. aftermarket options?

Conclusion

I look forward to hearing everyone’s thoughts and experiences with BMW M2 rear spoilers. Your insights will help a lot in making my decision!

Hey everyone! I’m looking to install a rear spoiler on my BMW M2 and need some help. What are the best practices for installation?

Make sure you have the right tools: a drill, socket set, and some adhesive. It’s essential for a clean install!

I second Brittany! Also, check if your spoiler comes with installation instructions; they usually detail step-by-step processes.

What type of adhesive is recommended? I don’t want it to peel off at high speeds!

Use an automotive-grade double-sided tape along with screws. It provides a secure fit without damaging your paint job. Just be careful when drilling!

Absolutely! Make sure you mark your drill holes precisely. Misalignment can ruin the look.

Also, doing it on a warm day helps the adhesive stick better. I learned that the hard way when mine fell off!

I really like the Vorsteiner V-CS series; it looks aggressive yet classy. Perfect for the M2’s lines!

11

I appreciate all the help! Does anyone have a favorite brand of spoiler for the M2?

12

Agreed! Vorsteiner is top-notch. Just make sure if you go that route, it aligns well with your existing design.

13

Before you commit, explore the option of custom spoilers! You’d be surprised how much better it can look, and it can be made specifically for your car.

I’m really curious about this too! I love the M2, but I’m unsure what spoiler to choose. I’ve heard the larger ones like a GT wing can enhance downforce significantly at high speeds. Anyone experienced this?

15

I’ve installed a mid-level spoiler, and I noticed improved stability during cornering. It’s not too aggressive but does create a nice amount of downforce without compromising everyday usability.

That’s interesting, @martinelizabeth! I’ve been skeptical about spoilers being useful in daily driving, but maybe it’s worth considering. What brand did you go with?

17

I went with a BMW Performance spoiler! It looks sleek and doesn’t scream ‘race car’ at every red light. Plus, it aligns with BMW’s design philosophy.

18

I’ve got a carbon fiber spoiler from a custom shop, and it’s lightweight. The downforce is incredible! However, I did notice a bit of drag at lower speeds.

That’s great to hear about the downforce! Have you had any issues with durability, or is it holding up well?

The spoiler has held up fine so far! It’s been about a year and no issues. Just remember to protect it from the sun; carbon can fade.
